Have 'you' heard this song?.....

I sang in choir for entirely too many years in school. Thinking of love songs.. this one's words always made me dreamy.. anyone else heard it..?
The one I *ahem* recently acquired is a little slower than I remember...

If a picture could paint a thousand words (or IF)
by Bread
If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why I can't paint you?
The words will never show the you I've some to know.
if a face could launce a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you, You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
you come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tommorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to
die,
I'd spend the end with you. And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away

IF
Sung by Bread

If a picture paints a thousand words
then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is running dry
you come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places
at one time I'd be with you
tomorrow and today beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning
slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

'If'

(As recorded by Bread)
DAVID GATES

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships then where am I to go
There's no one home but you, you're all that's left me, too.

And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving, spinning slowly out to die
I'd spend the end with you, and when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away.

Re: Have 'you' heard this song?.....

The words souns so familiar, but I can't quite figure out if I'm heard it before.

Re: Have 'you' heard this song?.....

Maybe due to my many years in choir or because I listen to alot of WALK FM, but yes I know the song. I personally like it. Its been around for awhile and probably will be around in the future.

Yep!

That song makes me cry everytime I hear it. The melody is what gets me.

Re: Have 'you' heard this song?.....

Hey Pink Rose..
Ever catch yourself humming along or singing along with a song you never like or was annoying in choir?

Not that I hated many of the songs.. but some were ...ugh.. Lets see if I can spell this one..
Dona Nobis Pacem
Give us Peace.. ARGH!!!!
